Whether the Drake Casino took its name from the legendary sailor Sir Francis Drake or simply the male duck – we’re not sure – but it’s time to see whether it floats our boat or whether we should duck it all together?

The Drake Casino advertises itself as a well-run casino that is managed by seasoned gaming professionals. A casino that is open to players of all levels, safe and secure, offers excellent service, and 160 amazing casino games.

The casino has a nice look to it but, whilst there’s lots of easily accessible information available, I would like to see the wagering requirements for its very generous welcome package set out more clearly – however the Drake Casino Welcome Package is a serious 3-tier welcome offer of up to $5,000 of bonus cash!

There’s also lots of other bonuses to look forward to if you enrol in the Drake Club VIP Scheme. These include 100% bonuses every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, as well as cashback and comp point rewards.

There are instant-play and downloadable options, whilst the casino also offers mobile options for Apple, Android and Windows phone and tablet users. Its customer support team also has a decent reputation for resolving disputes, and they can be contacted by live-chat, email and phone.

There are over 160 games from Betsoft and Arrow’s Edge to play, and these include 33 Table Games (including 9 Exclusive High-roller games) and these are made up of varieties of Hold’em, Rummy, Blackjack, Baccarat, Roulette, Pontoon, Craps, Poker, Red Dog and War. There’s also 28 Video Poker games including Pyramid Aces or Faces and Multi-Hand All American.

The casino is managed by the Drake Casino Group, and is licensed in Curacao.

The Drake Club

Whether you’re a relatively small-stakes player or a high-roller, you can enjoy being part of the Drake Club VIP Scheme at a level that suits you. These levels start at Amber, and you can then play your way up the tiers which are Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond. Whatever level you’re at, you can enjoy a 75% Bonus on Tuesdays, a 50% Bonus on Thursdays, and a 100% Bonus on Thursdays – with the amount of bonus available starting at $100 and increasing up to $500 on each bonus. All players can also enjoy weekly cashback of 10% on all losses. All your slot-play will also earn you Comp Points, with Amber-Level players earning 160 points for every $100 wagered. Each subsequent level you reach will also mean you earn an extra 16 points per $100 wagered. You can then redeem these points at a rate of 2,000 points = $2.

Slots Sections

The slots section at the Drake Casino is handily split-up into categories to make it easy to find the games that you might want to play. If you’re a classic slots lover (3-reel slots) then you can enjoy 11 select slots such as Aztec Treasure, Diamond Dreams, and Back In Time. Meanwhile, Featured Slots include games such as Frankenslot’s Monster, Birds, and Rise of the Dragon.

Android Users can enjoy 25 specially optimised slots such as the thrilling bank robber themed slot Heist, the Ancient Egypt Tomb Themed game Lost, or the tongue-in-cheek mafia themed game The Slotfather. Meanwhile, Apple Optimised slots players can try and catch an art thief in A Night In Paris, or dance the night away in At The Copa. And, don’t worry if you’re a Windows tablet or phone user, as there’s 18 slots that have been specially optimised for your devices, including the epic Gladiator, the sexy Good Girl Bad Girl, and the feature-packed Greedy Goblins.

Go Mobile

The Drake Casino is available on a wide variety of mobile devices, including iPads, iPhones and iPod Touches, Android Phones and Tablets, and Windows Phones and Tablets. However, take note that Apple, Android and Windows devices all have limited mobile content compared to playing on a PC, with Apple Mobile offering a choice of 29 slots, Android 25 slots, and Windows 18 slots.

Three-Tier Support

If you want to get in touch with Drake Casino, you can do so using live-chat, email and phone options. The live-chat option is powered by EZChat, whilst the phone option is toll-free. Meanwhile, whilst Drake seem to have had their share of customer complaints, they have established a good online reputation for sorting them out.

Should We Duck The Drake?

If you’re looking for a casino that offers The great range of Betsoft 3D Slots, welcome bonuses and weekly bonuses to give you more money to play these games with, a high-level of customer support, and the opportunity to play your way up the various levels of a quality VIP Scheme in which you can earn Comp Points as you play – then you’d be a fool to duck the drake!
